I just got back and had another few problems with the fly wheel again. Ok I got the nut off and the plastic grass screen and the starter pulley thing, but then there was then actual fly wheel with those plastic cooling fins on it. How do I get that off? I. Noticed 4 bolts around the edge where the cooling fins are is that it or?

Generally there are 2 or 4 bolt holes near the center hole of the flywheel to attach a puller for removal. However, I have not been in a Magnum for some years so please post a picture of where you are currently.
Do not pry on or hammer the flywheel.sigpic
My new beer holder spilled some on the trails - in it's hair and down it's throat.
Joe Camel never does that.

Curtis just looked at the Home page of the site, in the Manuals section sub section Kohler sub section M18&M-20 there are both parts and service manuals. In the Service manual (pdf on the right) on page 9.5 are removal instructions.sigpic

I already did but you need a fly wheel puller. Is there any other way of Doing this?Comment

Not really. Lots of people use a lot of different techniques but anything other than a puller has a greater chance of just breaking stuff.
You can make one with some plate and a bolt/nut. Need a drill press and a welder.
Around here you can borrow/rent tools like this from the local auto parts store. Most likely it will be a crow foot puller. You can probably find on like that on ebay for around $20. If you are going to make a habit of fixing/rebuilding/tinkering (like many on this forum) then it is probably time you start to collect tools. Buy good ones - they'll be cheaper in the long run.
But for sure you need to be spraying some kroil/liquid wrench/whatever your favorite brand of penetrating oil is on it now and every day until you solve the tool problem.Comment

I got the stator off what do I clean it with?Comment
-
A product caĺled electra clean & a tooth brush is ideal. Brake clean will also work(both are in aresol cans).
I suppose if its all you have you could use hot soapy water...Comment

Posted he pic of the stator under the name magnum stator and there was a layer of black dirt of suit on the contacts or ends of the stator would that cause any problems? If not anything else I can look for or clean on a stator? Also all the magnets were glued on tight they all had a good strong push/ pull and nothing was cracked.anything I can clean or do to the flywheel since I got it off?Comment

Curtis your inbox is full. Wd40 is not the best but if it is all you have. If you opt to change the crankshaft seal consult the engine manual first for removal and installation instructions.sigpic
